Do Web3 cards without KYC have the right to exist?
opinions are split into two camps:
for:
• You don’t hand your personal data to some service
• Relevant for people under capital controls, sanctions, or with shitty banking
• Fast issuance, almost no bureaucracy, can spend crypto
against:
• Most payment systems and banks refuse to work with them
• Cards often die fast: provider blocked → card dead → funds stuck
• Higher chance of getting scammed
not sponsored or anything, just food for thought
pros of no-KYC cards
• Maximum privacy
• Access for people under capital controls or sanctions
• Fast issuance
• Harder to freeze or track
cons
• Gray/black zone in most countries
• Low limits, high fees, frequent blocks, weak Apple/Google Pay
• If it gets hacked - almost zero chance to recover anything
• Worse rates
don’t forget - crypto was originally about decentralization, and a lot of people still want to stick to that
best no-KYC
@offgridcash, @solcard, @kardpay, @pintopay_me, @LasoFinance
best KYC
@ether_fi, @Plasma, @JupiterExchange, @wirexapp, @Krak
choice is yours
just DYOR and know the risks
